Scientific health effects, confirmed by EFSA*:

Quick Overview

New with vitamin K2 and green tea extract. Longlife Granatum™ is made from organic pomegranate juice extract and highly-concentrated pomegranate extracts and the highest-quality vitamin K2 currently available. Pomegranates and green tea contain the important ingredient antioxidant polyphenols, also referred to as phytochemicals. These special phytochemicals give pomegranates their unique aroma and effect. With vitamin K2 as microencapsulated MK7 with 100% biologically-active all-trans isomers. One 569mg capsule contains 253mg of polyphenol. Contents: 120 vegecaps of 569mg each.

The pomegranate is also referred to as "punica granatum" in Latin. It is one of the oldest fruits eaten and used by people for medicinal purposes. Research on the pomegranate really began around seven years ago. Since then more than 200 papers have been published. Pomegranate juice has been proven to have conclusive antioxidant effects in clinical studies in vitro and in vivo. The latest research indicates that pomegranate polyphenols can also be used to prevent a number of common health problems.

Pomegranates contain ellagic acid, which is particularly effective when it comes to protecting cells Ellagic acid is a polyphenol. Tests conducted at Hollings Cancer Center in South Carolina (MUSC) show that ellagic acid, which is a naturally occurring phytochemical, has a highly protective effect.Dr. Daniel Nixon (MUSC) began researching ellagic acid in 1993. Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenol that can be found in high concentrations in certain types of fruits and nuts and particularly in pomegranates.

A study conducted by the Technion Institute in Haifa, Israel, found that eating pomegranates improves health. The research team, Prof. Jitzchak Neeman from the Faculty for Biotechnology and Food Engineering at the Technion Institute and Schai Schubert studied pomegranate wine and fresh pomegranate juice. Pomegranate juice is an effective antioxidant. Additional studies recommend drinking fresh pomegranate juice to prevent oxidation.

Pomegranate juice contains a variety of natural nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and flavanoid. Even the ancient Egyptians and other peoples living in the Middle East valued the pomegranate for its effectiveness against intestinal parasites. There's a reason why pomegranate juice is sold as a health drink.

Contains Vitamin K2 as microencapsulated MK7 with 100% biologically-active all-trans isomersVitamin K2 has gained scientific importance and is referred to as menaquinone in English. Vitamin K2 has recently been called the new miracle vitamin. Different studies confirm promising and interesting results. The liposoluble vitamin K, also called menaquinone MK, is known to be an essential nutrient for combating blood clotting, as the synthesis of different blood clotting factors is dependent on vitamin K. A vitamin K deficiency can lead to haemorrhaging. The letter ‘K’ stands for the German word ‘Koagulation’, meaning coagulation or clotting.However, there is only one vitamin K2 molecule which prevents heart attacks and calcification of the blood vessels, reduces existing build-ups or can increase bone density. This active vitamin K2 molecule is able to combine carbon with osteocalcin or a Gla matrix. This process is called activation. If both of these proteins are activated, osteocalcin can store calcium in the bones or the protein Gla matrix can remove calcium from the soft tissue.

New with green tea extract for even more antioxidant power More than 100 clinical studies worldwide have proven the antioxidant power of green tea. The tea leaves contain catechin, whose most important components are epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin gallate. Catechin is responsible for most of green tea's effects. The polyphenols (particularly epigallocatechin gallate) naturally contained in some kinds of tea are responsible for the preventative effect. Since 2011, the German Cancer Aid foundation has been sponsoring a long-term study at the University of Halle (Saale) and Ulm University on treating intestinal cancer, donating a total of EUR 2.1 million.
